I have two of these. Connected to one is my HD TiVo, Xbox 360, Wii (wired), and HD-DVD player. This switch, in turn, is connected to a 2nd switch of the same make via a long (50-foot or so), cheap Cat5e cable. Connected to the 2nd switch is two computers, another TiVo, and my VoIP telephone. This switch is then connected to my Verizion FiOS router. Connections to all devices are just as fast as you'd expect and I get my full 15mbps on the WAN side (which I better, seeing as how they're 100Mbps switches). The bang for the buck is very good for this switch, IMO.

After trying a generic switch from Best Buy that refused to work properly I ordered this item from Amazon. Simply took it out of the box and plugged it in and it worked flawlessly. I had previously installed the Network Magic software that is included. My system recognized the switch and there has been no problems since.

This is how a Plug-n-Play component is puposed to work.

Works great for me and easy to install. I have 2 Directv HD-DVRs, Clover security DVR, Slingbox, Desktop PC all connected and no problems. Don't spend more for a switch at Best Buy or Circuit City, this one will work fine for you.

Works as expected, had no problems with it and I've been using it non-stop (always plugged in).

Mine has been working for over a year ... does not even get warm. And the plug/adapter is not bulky. Ok, it's not very complicated, but hey, it just WORKS ... and looks like it will last forever.
